Luca Molnar

Luca Molnar is a painter, most days. Her work uses historical figures and personal mythologies as its starting point, building networked connections through both research and intuition.  In her paintings, pattern references imagined domestic spaces, allowing the private sphere to emerge as a complex and contradictory site worthy of our attention. Her interest in our relationships with the past and identity extends into her installation work and writing.


Molnar received her MFA from New York University and her BA in Studio Art from Dartmouth College. She recently completed a large-scale outdoor mural at the Mennello Museum as part of Orlando's Art Pollination project promoting food justice. In 2026, Orlando's Burrow Press will release her first artist book, co-created with São Paulo based artist Kat Shannon. Molnar is an Associate Professor of Studio Art at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida.

Kate James

Kate James is a painter based in Kissimmee, Florida. She received her BFA in Fine Arts from Cornell University. With a dual background in painting and scenic design, James’ work is deeply rooted in constructing narrative around location. She approaches her art with an observational documentary style, researching and designing immersive environments that function as heterotopias. James’ design process begins with extensive textual research, pulling from a range of influences, including Magical Realism, Southern Gothic literature, and environmental non-fiction.

Natasha Radovicz Schaidt

Natasha Radovicz Schaidt (b. 1989, Los Angeles) is a Central Florida–based painter and the daughter of Brazilian immigrants. Her practice investigates the intersections of realism, abstraction, and imagination through the medium of acrylic on canvas. Engaging color as a vehicle for emotional and psychological expression, Schaidt constructs layered compositions that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Her work examines how formal elements—color, texture, and composition—can evoke empathy and introspection, inviting viewers to engage with painting as both an aesthetic and emotional experience.

Kira Gondeck-Silvia


Born and raised in the subtropics, Kira Gondeck-Silvia might’ve ended up at Salpêtrière in another era. Today, she channels visual energy into human-centered design, chats with the dead, and carries a mountain of student debt. She lives in Central Florida with her writer husband, four cats she puts bandanas on, and a neurotic dog.
